Earth, wind, fire, water…Kelly Clarkson. Those are the basic elements of the singer’s latest music video, “Catch My Breath,” the first single off her upcoming greatest hits collection (out Nov. 19).

And really, this clip is as simple and stripped down as a Kelly Clarkson show — though to my recollection, the original Idol’s never walked on water in front of a live audience. Clarkson sings, she looks pretty — all while some similarly pretty special effects, representing the four elements, fill the background.

And that’s about it.

The song, which fits the high-adrenalin pop-rock sound of, well, Clarkson’s best and greatest hits, is one of two original cuts on Greatest Hits – Chapter One, the other being a love duet with country singer Vince Gill, “Don’t Rush.”

Talking with Access Hollywood last week, Clarkson, 30, hinted that she’s been drawn to romantic themes lately — something which may have to do with her new boyfriend, Brandon Blackstock. But when it came to writing “Catch My Breath,” Clarkson says she kept the subject matter strictly business.

“I actually wrote it about my career, just the arc of everything in my life for the past 10 years,” she told the outlet. “So it’s kind of got a little bit of everything — angst and anger and resolution and love. It’s got everything in there.”
